The Chicago Blackhawks have their first offseason addition confirmed after announcing on Monday morning that they’ve signed defenseman Filip Roos to a two-year entry-level contract.
Roos’ deal runs through the 2023-24 season and carries a $925,000 cap hit.
Word of this potential signing first surfaced through Swedish media outlets in April.
Roos, 23, is a 6-foot-4, 190-pound defenseman who spent last season with Skellefteå AIK of the Swedish Hockey League, racking up one goal and five assists in 50 games. Roos also played in six postseason games, tallying another assist.
